In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

If you want an example of a film that sacrifices narrative and tradition on the altar of ideology, "Strike" is a masterclass. Every frame radiates monocultural, overt messaging with no appreciation for nuanced viewpoints or traditional pillars.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

While "Strike" is an early Soviet silent film, it's hard to ignore that its entire plot is steered by class conflict, with characters largely representing collective types rather than individuals. Ideology overshadows personal nuance or multifaceted characters – pretty much the template for narrative sacrificed for message.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

This film doesn’t just adapt culture – it tries to overturn it. Traditional family, religious, and moral structures are sidelined or vilified in favor of a revolutionary collectivist spirit. Individual agency and tradition are shown as relics, if they appear at all.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There's only one way of looking at the world here: the proletariat is purely good, authority and tradition are evil. No sincere or sympathetic representation of doubts, individualism, or alternative philosophies. It’s a textbook case of ideological monoculture.
